GROWN UP FLOOR

[byholeystgeorge]

[Now this has some scary stuff- if things that can't actually hurt you are still scary anymore. Blood running down the walls, rattling chains, you name it. And those damn candles seem to like going out at the worst times.]

THIS IS WHAT CALVIN GETS FOR BREAKING THE RULES. He snuck into the grown-up floor with his little stars-and-moons wizard robe dragging around his feet, immediately heard rattling chains coming towards him, and took off running in the opposite direction. Then he ran smack into a wall covered in blood and took off running and screaming with his eyes closed and his pointy wizard hat falling off until he bolted straight through one of the trick doors without even looking.

Calvin the Terrified Kid entered, Calvin the Perturbed Cliche Wizard's Apprentice exited. "Masters?" He calls. Calvin rubs his chin, wishing he was old enough to have a properly wizardly beard to stroke.

The room he's in is dark, and he waves his broomstick staff and shouts "Illuminus!" Nothing happens. Hm. Clearly my studies need more involvement with that spell. He calls again for his Masters, the great and learned Weasley Wizards.

[notsaintly]

Oh bollocks.

[ clearly the kid-proofing was no match for calvin. which they really should have forseen, in retrospect. calvin reminded fred of himself and george, and when had a couple signs stopped them at that age?

so he apparates right behind calvin and murmurs lumos, wand tip lighting up the darkness. ]

Misread the signs, eh, Calvin?

[more_surreal]

[Calvin jumps a good foot into the air when Fred just appears behind him]

Master George!

[Yep somebody still hasn't gotten the hang of the twin thing yet. Yes, despite having the ear pointed out to him. LOOK IT'S DARK AND HE'S SCARED AND MAGIC-BRAINWASHED]

I was just, er- checking the enchantments on the house! I have to say, you and Master Fred have done really impressive work tonight. I can't wait until I learn as much magic as you!

[notsaintly]

Fred, Calvin, I'm Fred. The less holey of the pair.

[ oh right that enchantment. fred is somewhere between amusement and concern. george just might hex him if he thinks fred is somehow responsible. ]

Helpful of you, but we'd best get you back to the appropriate rooms before Master George cottons on.

[more_surreal]

Oh, right. Sorry Master!

[But Calvin wants George to know the apprentice is helpful!]

I don't want to go back down there, though! It's boring. And all the best magic is obviously up here. How did you make the walls bleed? I, uh, need to know for my studies!

[notsaintly]

I'll let you read up on our notes then. No need for practical demonstrations at such a tender age.

[ fred actually has no idea if there are notes. he and george aren't exactly the note-taking types. ]

[more_surreal]

[Calvin is enthused YAY READING THAT ISN'T MATH]

You mean you'll let me see your most powerful and forbidden wizard lore? The ancient scrolls containing hidden myths and secrets of magic? Maybe there's tablets too!

[If it can make walls bleed it must come from an ancient prehistoric tablet. This is the logic of Wizard Apprentice Calvin.]

[ Luna was merrily skipping amongst the blood and chains and various fearful delights, "mane" bouncing behind her with every step.

Until she stopped.

And began to let out a low, hungry growl.

Then dropped down to all fours and began slinking her way around the room in search of prey. ]

[Have an overly bouncy cheerleader stopping mid cheer to watch]

[i_seethestrals]

[ Have a lion stare at you, intently, for a moment... and then start speeding towards you, roaring the whole time. ]

[sofiawind]

[Pom poms are tossed up in the air as one ditzy cheerleader jumps up on to the table out of the way]

[i_seethestrals]

[ The lion leaps forward, trying to clear the table too, but trips and lands suddenly on her bum instead. ]

Rrowr?

[sofiawind]

Awh ! Cute kitty [tentative cheerleader is coming down to hug the lion]

[i_seethestrals]

[ The lion, a bit thrown off by this, just stands there and growls. While... waving her felt tail back and forth with her hand.

Oh so grumpily. ]

[sofiawind]

[oh look she'll be petting the cute grumpy lion's head]
